🌀 Ray tracing library for Vulkan API 1.1 (indev)

vRt (VK1.1)

Unified Vulkan API ray tracing cross-platform library.

Features and advantages

• Low-level library for ray tracing, based on Vulkan API (compute workflow)
• Fixed issues of previous projects, added sort of new features
• Reduced overheads, single command buffer support, highly optimized
• Support by common modern compilers (Visual Studio 2017, GCC 8.1)
• Support by modern graphics/compute accelerators (NVidia Pascal, AMD Radeon Vega, next-gens...)
• Can reach 100Mrays/s in top GPU's (tested RX Vega 64, in sponza scene, fully dynamic mode)
• Support 3D dimensional space (by default)

Requirements

• Vulkan API 1.1 Support
• Vulkan Memory Allocator
• C++17 capable compiler
• GLSL to SPIR-V 1.3 compiler

Compatibility Confirmed

• RX Vega 64
• GTX 1070

Uncomfirmed

• RTX 2080, 2080 Ti (non-RTX mode only)
• GTX 1070 Ti, 1080 Ti (Pascal), 980, 980 Ti (Maxwell)
• RX Vega 56 and Raven Ridge
• RX 580, 480 (optimizations ready only for RX Vega 64 and that series)

Roadmaps

October 2018

• De-vendorize possible features
• HLSL shaders for non-core functionality
• Begin of development for OpenGL, OpenCL and CUDA interoperability

November 2018

• Support for RTX graphics cards (RTX 2070, 2080, etc.)
• Support of RTX acceleration
• Support of extensions (which with RTX)

December 2018 (or beyond)

• Coming to alpha stage
• Advanced ray-tracing API
• Support for Vulkan API 1.2

Indefinite Term

• Unit tests
• First implementations for games, engines, applications, blockchains
• Make custom GLSL/HLSL compiler for unified compatibility
• Support of PowerVR Wizard Ray Tracing, Intel Larrabee 2019
